McCain & "intellectual incurious"

caden · 2008-09-23 10:27:48

I've seen that term used to demean McCain multiple times on this board and elsewhre. Frankly, I find it an intellectually vacant (pun intended) categorization and downright snobbish.

Definite kudos to caden for taking on this post. It is ridiculous that this is a standard and that people really make a major issue out of this. Where are the posters that wanted to 'focus on the issues' yesterday when it had to do with Obama, but now are nitpicking McCain for his use of technology?

I respectfully disagree. I still want to talk about the issues. I agreed this was a minor issue with McCain, but a major issue with Palin. My disliking Palin has little to do with her religious views, and everything to do with her abuse of authority, her secrectiveness, her refusal to sit for real journalisits, her continued lies and her being picked (IMO) mainly b/c she is a woman.

Why is it a major issue with Palin? Has she come out and talked about not being able to use technology? I don't think so so this is a nitpick. Her speaking to reporters is an issue due to that it where you will learn about her stances on issues/ideals.
